Scrappy "Candy Store" original pattern by Jean Wells

Over the Christmas holidays I did take a bit of time to play.  I had seen a version of this quilt in the Fons and Porter May/June 2012 magazine and had put it aside as quilts I wanted to make.  If you look at the quilt in the magazine you will note Jean Wells used a lovely aray of brights called Designer collections by Free Spirit.  I, as many of you know have an abundance of scrapes and wanted to incorporate them in this quilt.  I love the way it turned out and was very pleased to rescue the smaller strips I had in my scrap bin.
